MODS - can you pls make this a sticky? thanks
After much negotiation AUT has created a fantastic new facility for motorcycle parking for staff and students. The ground floor of the Wilson parking on St Paul St is now dedicated to Motorbikes (as marked out). AUT staff and students can use this facility free - just ride in and out. This represents a significant investment of the University, and feedback to pass onto them to show that this is appreciated and used will be important in keeping this open long-term.
In the meanwhile the review of parking outside the WF Business building is coming towards it end. It may be some parking is retained here although all may be relocated to the Wilson.
Until further notice if you do park at WF pls follow the regs below - but pls start the transition to using the secure, undercover St Pauls Wilson park. My thanks to all of you who inputted into the discussion as these have formed an important part of the process.

The long-term bike parking solution for the City Campus is now Wilson on St Paul as above. For any bikes and scooters are still using the space outside the business school building until further notice keeping this in order is crucial. Currently common sense rules are in place - do NOT:
- park here if you can use St Pauls Wilson free
- ride across the pedestrian area of the cafe front
- park obsructing the main glass entrance-way and fire-access station
- park obstructing clear access to the benched area for pedestrians
- box other bikes in
- park on the pevement area obstructing the way around the building and getting us a bad rep
DO
- use the Wilson on St Pauls
- park neatly along the 'back wall' area in one neat line
- park well to the right side (from road) of the larger area away from the benches
- be considerate to other uses
- tell people to self-police this system
- find alterate parking - ie. the Civic, the Library, St Paul st, if the area is packed
I am giving tickets out to bikes that contravene these rules, and taking photos of the offenders and keeping a log.
I am also putting every so often a reminder of these principles to the bikes parked.
I need you all to spread news of the new facility to other AUT riders.
Finally if any one else swears at me for advising on sensible parking practices this will no longer be tolerated. Thanks for most of your patience and help.
